In response to Carver's remarks, Dr. Robert Clarke, administrative vice president of the college said that "we didn't want him to give out more tickets-than was necessary to keep order on campus and unless it is a flagrant violation... we're not in any conflict (with Carver) as far as I can tell." Clarke said that they asked Nov. 14, 1975 Carver to be liberal in interpreting the parking rules and that Carver has to interpret that direction as best he can. "We're not fighting with Mr. Carver," added Clarke. Carver added that security gets more calls asking security to go and write out tickets as there are calls not to write them. Student complaints Marty Wikstrom, also of the ombudsman office, said that several students have complained about getting a poor reception at the Police office. Wikstrom said that students have been treated as if the WSC police office felt that their complaints or questions didn't deserve an answer, and "in one instance the secretary even hung up on a student." Carver said that many of the students had called his secretaries names in the past and that many times the secretaries had a right to get upset. He added, "they do the best they can." Faculty lots In response to a question about faculty members being allowed to park in students lots while students are not allowed to park in faculty lots, Carver said he would "think about it." Carver said that parking was "a hell of a lot worse in 1970 and 71," adding that he felt the Ombudsman office was making parking seem like more of a problem than it really is. Finally, Carver said "We as a police department are not responsible for the parking. ..we honestly try to do our best with what we have."
